By far most schools here also are not really aware of Linux (which is why I think this is a marketing opportunity). But some are dependent on it, for example http://www.tuxlabs.org.za/ . I just wanted to make sure that they were not excluded... so the Windows crowd are equally well represented in the book (which hopefully will make it a financial success). Also, I think in 5 years time (the life of the book) things may look different. Being inclusive and tolerant of diversity may be good differentiating factor :-) -i -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
